when an abyss
of temptation
opens under our feet
more than anything looking
like an invitation
at a time
where solitude is nagging
and loneliness seems to be
the only friend left
it might be time
to pause
for a moment
and wake
staying with
the great silence
while
awakening into
all sorts of
emotions
is what can be called
a fortunate challenge
a challenge opening towards
blessings
while
accepted and
accomplished
answering the call
of the present moment
means
making ourselves
available to it
every person has
a specific way
to answer
and every person a specific way
to find it
trivial tasks
are sometimes
the most calming answer
to a mind in turmoil
falling into
the rhythm of love
is just as simple
as it seemed
impossible
while torn between
fear and faith
befriending a new word
is broadening the horizon
also while
the word is
as little flattering as
pusillanimous
remembering
throughout the day
to revere
creation
might inspire
a whole different kind of
creativity
being able to create
a room
for truth to surface
might be more precious
than imposing our convictions
upon others
in order to prove ourselves
true
when the building
of our faith
has been torn
and trampled on
it might take some time
to rebuild
the cathedral of our soul
but what a marvel
to see it rise
under the loving care
of hope
to one day
see it stand erect
entering
an inner state
of peace
from where
life is
accessible
not to be
conquered
nor to
controlled
even less
condemned
just to be
lived
